Arty Downtowners converge at this Chinatown haven before and after hitting the nearby gallery openings.

Chinese brides wear red and so does Mountain Bar, with touches of gold: You'll feel like you're in the bottom of a large Manhattan cocktail. Strange-looking lanterns (light art?) confirm this bar is for Chinatown's influx of Eastside hipsters rather than neighborhood immigrants. Service is often slow and the hard surfaces everywhere make noise bounce and conversation hard to hear. Still, skinny girls in neon sweat pants and plastic high heels lend cred, and hence draw crowds.
